Saturday Quote......

My load of pretty gravel arrived yesterday!  Woohoo!  Now to get it all where it goes and spread out!  Luckily Jeff will be coming over to help with that part.  I think I've about reached the limit of my physical abilities in this project!  LOL!  And of course Hudson and Ethan will be here to help!  

Have a wonderful day!

A couple of chores to do this morning and then I'm off to join Hudson on a walk-a-thon for his school.  I walk most every day so I should be able to keep up with a 6 year old - right?    I finished all the prep work in the yard yesterday and today they are delivering my load of gravel - yay!  I'm so excited!  

Have a wonderful day!

The card - background is stamped with a script stamp and then some speckles.  The leaves are a die cut and are popped up.  Add some ribbon and a sentiment.

The card - the background is stamped with random speckles and a few bits of bling.  The frame is made with rectangle die cuts and is popped up.  The print in the frame is from patterned paper (Alexandra Renke).  

Yard work today.  I'm adding some decorative gravel to some areas in my yard and that means I have to get every thing cleaned out and ready to put the gravel in by Saturday.  Hate to take out my flowers this early, but they won't last much longer anyway.  So that's what I'll be working on for the next few days.

Have a wonderful day!

The card - background is embossed.  Peaches are stamped, die cut and then popped up.  The piece behind the peaches is die cut.

I used the last of my peaches yesterday to make my son a batch of peach ice cream.  No more peaches for another year.  Sad face! 😞  I'm going to miss them - I've been eating some every day for a couple of months!   

But, on to today.  Chores this morning and then a nice afternoon with the Needle Keepers.  Going to take advantage of a relaxing day and evening because I have a big outdoor project I have to start on tomorrow!  

Have a great day!
